"Booh" used for Caltex ad, New Zealand

Biscuit · 24 Mar 2004, 02:03

Hi Guys

Got a giggle from the latest Caltex ad here in New Zealand.

It has a mum with a car load of kids on a long drive, and the kids are driving mum nuts by singing "the wheels on the bus". Mum stops at Caltex for petrol and buys a CD, puts it in and blows the kids away with Bat out of Hell.

Yeeeeah!!! Go mum!

Here in France we have an ad for vitamines with a few musical notes of RnR Mercenaries.
The french one is definitely less cool than the kiwi one!

BOOH has also been used in the UK to advertise Mars Bars on TV.... it featured a van driver (traditional UK white van man, complete with old copy of the Daily Star on his dashboard) stuck in traffic singing along to Bat using his Mars bar as a microphone....

BOOH has been used here by General Motors to promote the 24 hr test drive. It just kept repeating " let me sleep on it"

Cool - the more ads with Jim / Meaty music the better I reckon...

The songs should be used more in films, godammit

I heard SOMEWHERE (I cannot remember where) that Jim is writing a musical based on BOOH, BOOH2, and Dead Ringer. I want a ticket. NOW.
